Hello,
Could you explain the following behavior of MQWF (found in an IBM sample test) ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyp :
H1)The Notification mode of a process P1 is specified as "RUN"
H2)The Notification mode of the corresponding System level is specified as "HOLD"
H3)The subprocess P2 is NOT "autonomous" with respect to notification.
Conclusion :
If you do in the conditions describes above a "Suspend Deep", the notification timer continues to RUN if the subprocess P2 has been started.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don' t understand the conclusion because I thought that if P2 was not autonomous on notification, its notifications settings were depending from the settings of P1 (and not from its system as indicated in the conclusion)
Does this mean that the inheritance of P2 from its System level about notification is "stronger" than its non-autonomy with respect to notification ?
Could you explain ?
THANKS |

H1 P1 indicates the Notification clock should "Run" during suspension
H2 System indicates that Notification clock should "Not Run" during suspension
H3 Indicates that P2 is Not Autonomous i.e it Does Not inherit RUN from P1
Now, if P2 is running, then P1 is running, since it is a SubProcess. So, since P1 is still running the Clock must run with respect to P1.
If you have given me the entire question, I agree with the conclusion, the clock runs for P1.

Hello,
About H3 : if P2 (the subprocess) is NOT autonomous, doesn 't that mean it Does inherit the "RUN notification" from P1 (which would effectiveley explain the conclusion) ?
I think that is what you meant but you wrote something else about H3 in your answer.
Could you confirm ?
THANKS. |

I agree, it was early when I wrote that.... BUT I think it is really irrelevant. P1 is Running, Therefore the Clock is running. I think any statement about P2 is a smokescreen, unless you are asking the questions specifically about the Subprocess P2

I understand what you mean by "BUT I think it is really irrelevant ...unless you are asking the questions specifically about the Subprocess P2"
The conclusion is very clear to me now.
THANKS for your help !!!
